@@Sumerdini Looking at the timegrapher curve it doesn't look like a top grade movement Sumerdini.

The H10 they thinned out the barrel spring so much and the lowered the beat rate so you don't that smooth guiding second hand anymore.

Your review on the Hamilton is slightly incorrect I think, you state the H10 is the same as the Powermatic 80, it isn’t. Both are based upon the ETA C07 series movements, but there are significant differences. The Powermatic used by Tissot etc is the C07.1xx with 23 jewels and synthetic escapement, whereas the H10 uses the C07.6xx with 25 jewels and conventional escapement.
It’s still a powermatic 80. There are different grades of them. .611 is also used in Certina’s. Still a powermatic 80. .111 is the tissot with less jewels and synthetic escapement. Again, still a powermatic 80
He would sir I personally prefer the high beat rate of the ETA 2824 which is 8 beats per second same as a Rolex , I would be interested to strip a H10 down and see the difference
@@Drakewyrm To be fair everything has gone up in this is perfectly normally just look at how much it costs to heat your home compared to 5 years ago or the price of electricity, everyone of these brands has to heat and power there workshops and everyone wants a pay rise every few years.
Hey, @ClickSpringReviews your channel is great. I recently got a Sinn 104 and the bezel is misaligned. I was wondering if I could fix this myself or do I have to send it into Sinn to align it?
Glad you like the channel Sir and welcome aboard , regarding the alignment the 104 has the Captive bezel system its really simple to remove just back the screws out from around the bezel a little but leaving the one at 12 o'clock,. underneath should be the spring ring with a number of different holes this allows you to adjusted it , In this video I think you may see it 👍🏻ua-cam.com/video/8q9wSm0wrnY/v-deo.htmlsi=izp3EzJn17TM7CSE
I don't agree about the accuracy due to the fact that the Sinn uses the top grade movement, it may be better and consistent but mine came in from Sinn at +8s per day. Of course it can be easily adjusted but I don't mind that. A few of my NH35 and PT5000 watches from China came in like +1s per day. So, the top grade movement doesn't mean that you will get the best accuracy, you're paying for the best assembling quality (quiet rotor, smooth winding), less positional variant and better shock resistant.
Hi Harry, Top Grade movements are adjusted in 5 positions were as standard is only 3 Your +8 just over the limit, TWR (UK Service Centre) say that all Sinn's they expect to run to within COSC standards
I’d honestly rather the Hamilton get rid of the compass bezel but keep pretty much everything else the same. I guess then it would be a bit more boring, but I think it would make a great daily beater and could also dress it up more without the compass
I can say Laco is better to deal with as they are happy to send my review models :) , I do like that Laco have more original models were as Stowa seem to copy many of the other brands . Sorry I cant be more help Sir
Hi Barry and gentlemen, both Sinn and Laco are legendary, but for different reasons. As a Sinn owner already I'd go for the Laco Atlantic 39 with Top grade movement. Right behind this is the Sinn and scrabbling around at the bottom of the heap is that other thing... Thanks for this Barry, I really enjoyed it. LG Bob 🍾 🥂
I'm the same I love the 556 I feel its a watch for all occasions but I do like the Laco , its a solid funky watch great build quality and stands out , I remember why I said its my favourite watch under a grand Bob 👍🏻
@@ClickSpringReview So how much of Laco production is in house, Barry? I know that Archimede and Limes do well in this regard, as do Sinn of course. Can you enlighten me? Thanks Barry 😊
@@ClickSpringReview I know about the movements, but I don't know where components like cases and hands are sourced. Obviously jewels will be bought in, crystals too, but I was curious as to whether major components are made in house, sourced in Germany or came from the far East...🙂
I'm pretty sure the clasps and bracelets are brought , Sinn cases with SUG on them are German made , Every brand these had are reliant on the Swiss and far east , I was talking to Bremount watches the other day and said without the Swiss they wouldn't exist as they even when it comes to plating small parts there is nowhere in the UK who do it . Many brands rely on the far east for rest because they have the set up for it and it keeps costs down. Fears watches are honest about where all there parts come from the only part they don't list is there new bracelet which leads me to think it must be the China. All the best matey 🫡
The 556 is just a modern classic. Built and regulated very well, looks great with any strap or bracelet, versatile, legibility off the charts. Easily my top choice. I really like the Laco especially the one with the orange accents. Sorry but not keen at all on this Hamilton. The manual khaki field tool watch and the murph are perhaps the only watches in their line up I would vaguely consider.

Great comparison. Sinn for me, then Laco. Like the Hamilton but they aren't the value proposition they used to be.
Same here but its a very close second with the Laco Phil
Sinn is definitely not the value it used to be anymore (5 years ago these watches were in the

on the laco, you chose anti coating only on one side?
No this one hasn't got it on the outside unfortunately :(
Outside coating is a bad idea 😡

whats better
